Our previous, phase 2 clinical trial showed that a 600 mg regimen of onradivir initiated within 48 h of symptom onset can expedite the recovery of adult patients from acute, uncomplicated influenza. Here, we aimed to evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of onradivir in a larger group with acute, uncomplicated influenza.<h3>Methods</h3>This randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled and oseltamivir-controlled, phase 3 trial was conducted at 68 clinical sites in China. Eligible participants were adults (aged 18–64 years) with an influenza-like illness who screened positive by rapid IAV antigen testing at the first clinical visit, and had a fever (axillary temperature ≥38·0°C) with at least one moderate systemic and one moderate respiratory symptom within 48 h of symptom onset. Patients were randomly assigned into three treatment groups, stratified by influenza symptom scores (≤11 or ≥12), in a 2:1:1 ratio by an interactive web response system, with each treatment lasting 5 days: 600 mg oral onradivir tablets once daily, 75 mg oral oseltamivir phosphate capsules twice daily, or oral placebo. The primary outcome was the efficacy of onradivir versus placebo in the time to alleviation of symptoms (TTAS), from treatment initiation to the remission of influenza symptoms, in the intention-to-treat infection (ITTI) population (ie, all participants who were randomly assigned and tested positive for IAV). The safety endpoints were the frequency and severity of adverse events in all participants who received treatment at least once.

ECPR could substantially improve survival with favourable functional recovery. However, the complexity and time-sensitive nature of the intervention, high costs, resource demands, considerable risks, and complications restrict the availability of ECPR. Patient age and comorbidities, timely and effective CCPR, and time-to-ECPR are major contributors to the outcome of patients. The primary goal of ECPR is full recovery of the patient, but in some cases, transition to a long-term ventricular assist device or heart transplantation can be additional options for survival. In patients diagnosed with brain death or, according to local regulation, in those with irreversible post-anoxic brain damage, organ donation is possible after ECPR. Ongoing research aims to assess the efficacy of ECPR versus continued CCPR and uncover key prognostic indicators.","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144183750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immunosuppression is a risk factor for infections and sepsis. However, the specific immune derangements elevating the risk for infections and sepsis remain unclear in the individual patient, raising the question of whether a general state of immunosuppression exists. In this Review, we explore the relationship between immunosuppression and sepsis, detailing the definitions, causes, and clinical implications. We address the effect of primary immunodeficiencies, acquired conditions, and drugs on the risk of infection and the development of sepsis. Patients with sepsis who are immunocompromised often present with atypical symptoms and diagnostic test results can differ, making early recognition difficult. Future perspectives entail novel biomarkers to improve early sepsis detection and tailored treatments to modulate immune function. Including patients who are immunocompromised in clinical trials is crucial to enhance the relevance of research findings and improve treatment strategies for this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":51307,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Respiratory Medicine","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":76.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
